Hey- I'm also new and trying to figure out how to navigate this site.
I know that I relate with the worsening depression as well. I've tried some FB groups but it was just too overwhelming.
It's hard when. The world doesn't understand that you're in constant, excruciating pain and normal for others is impossible for you. But, that's why we are here. I'm glad you are in therapy. Have you done CBT? I did extensive CBT (3 hrs/week) for 3 weeks and it helped a ton. It's not a cure all, and I could do it again now, but therapy wise it was great. Do you take any depression medication? There are some that are helpful with chronic pain- it took me years of trial and error just to learn that prozac was my cup of tea. Just curious- you don't have to share more than you're comfortable with
